MAKING SOUNDS GAME
Game cards to scaffold the making of sounds using common items in different ways. This game has been designed to help children to begin to develop an understanding of sounds in the world around them. We purposefully chose objects which would be as easily accessible as possible that might make interesting and varied sounds when manipulated in different ways. A very fun and easy game to play… Choose one blue ‘Object’ card and one orange ‘Action’ card. Then perform the action on the object to create different sounds!

ONOMATOPOEIC SOUND CARDS
Sound cards with individual imagery and lettering to enable quick recognition in pre-reading children. The cards are designed to encourage the children to have fun exploring vocal sounds they could use to make distinct sounds for each one. Alternatively you could explore objects in the world around which may make these sounds. Once sounds have been assigned to each card, games can be played such as ‘Call and Response’ where an adult may hold up the card to create the sound and the children copy. With the most engaged children you may wish to make more than one sound to create a rhythmic pattern for the children to copy and then encourage them to investigate their own rhythmic patterns!
